In this series of articles, I am going to introduce each of the plugins I have developed for ClassicPress, a hard-fork of WordPress, which was originally created to provide an alternative, yet compatible, CMS without the Gutenberg block editor.
The 30th plugin is Nearby.
Nearby creates a table of nearby locations (pages) based on GPS co-ordinates.
Nearby integrates with the following https://development.azurecurve.co.uk/classicpress-plugins/’>azurecurve | Development plugins:
- Flags allows a location to be set for a page; this will display the location flag next to the location name in the table of nearby attractions.
- Icons allows an icon to be displayed next to a nearby location which has an entry on a timeline (requires integration with Timelines to be enabled).
- Timelines allows a character (such as *) to be displayed next to a nearby location which has an entry on a timeline.
- Toggle Show/Hide allows the table of nearby locations to be enclosed with a toggle.
Apply the
[nearby]shortcode to a page with co-ordinates and nearby locations (pages with co-ordinates), based on the settings, will be displayed in a table.
The shortcode accepts two parameters:
typeto limit nearby attractions (multiple types can be provided in comma separated string).titleto override the default toggle title.
Example shortcode usage:
[nearby type="Distilleries" title="Nearby Distilleries"]
Examples of this plugin in action:
This plugin is multisite compatible; each site will need settings to be configured in the admin dashboard.
Download
The current release of the plugin can be downloaded from GitHub
